In a significant development, a Thai AirAsia flight, which had been granted an expired flight permit, was allowed to land in Kathmandu on humanitarian grounds. The aircraft, which had been circling for nearly an hour, successfully touched down at Tribhuvan International Airport.
Jagannath Niroula, the airport’s general manager, explained that the decision to allow the landing was based on the safety of the passengers and humanitarian considerations. This measure highlights the importance of prioritizing human welfare in aviation operations, especially in unforeseen circumstances.
